A few years ago, I discovered Udi’s products and pretty much haven’t gone back since. The bread in particular was so much better than most of the other gluten-free […]

What are your “Keys to the Kitchen”?
I’m lucky. I got to ask Aida up close and personal. If you don’t know her name, you should. Aida Mollenkamp is California-based food expert, TV host, writer, and culinary curator. She studied at the Cornell Hotel School (like me!) and Le Cordon Bleu Paris before joining CHOW.com where she worked behind the scenes as […]

San Francisco Foodies: Open Casting Call with Soy Vay
Thank you to Soy Vay for providing complimentary samples for my review. Guess what? I just found out that one of my favorite marinades has a gluten-free option.

Citizen Chef meals are great for busy people
When I first heard about Citizen Chef, I loved the concept: a meal which is ready to cook (just add the protein), fresh, healthy, and easy. You are eating in 15 minutes. Sounds like my kind of dinner! The bonus is that some of the meals are gluten-free, which is not easy to find. The […]

Grandma Hoerner’s Applesauce review and Duck Sauce recipe
Last year, I met the nice folks at Grandma Hoerner’s at The Fancy Food show. I loved their products like the preserves and the dark fudge sauce. I must have made a comment about how much it was like the low sugar preserves I buy from Trader Joes. Guess what? That’s their product! Last year, […]
Udi’s new hamburger and hot dog buns are perfect for summer
Wait, is that a hamburger roll that doesn’t crumble? What a treat! One advantage to a gluten-free diet is skipping the bread; I find I’m not as full otherwise. I often ask for a plain hot dog or hamburger whether I’m at the ball game, a bbq or restaurant. My kids and I have gotten […]
